Nice work. But I still think it's kinda lame (of GC).
I mean it says in the dictionary

save reference -- the object to save
[in alias] -- the file in which to save the object

"Macintosh HD:newfile" is not an alias and it's not a file
spec. So how was I supposed it wanted as string which usually
generates an error in most applications?

In fact, if you give it an alias or a file spec, it does nothing.
And it still returns 0 even when the file is saved.

Where's the point in that?

Oh well, win some, lose some.
